she bit a glossy lip , her teeth nesting on he pink paltform . and looked important . " the meeting , " she expalined to the now five-year-old barry ." with controller 2 . you are due at restaurant five minutes ."
"i'd forgotten ." barry jackkniked to his feet ." deb , i'll hear what you have to saytjhis afternoon ."
and that was that .
deb swept up the palstic cups , dumped them in the bin , and rubbed a tissue over the tabletop ./" no green lights today , we'd better have a chat , minty , tomorrow ." she checked herself ." oh , but you're not here tomorrow , are you ? you're not in untill next week ." her expression was quite nasty and she had scubbed so hard that the table was dotted with balls of wet tisssue .
so .... gisela arched her eyebrows ." rose and nathan are in touch ." gisela was giving me lunch at the cafe' noire as a thank-you for the dinnnr . we had talked long and hard , and that long , hard talk gave birth to confidences in which i had not intended to indulge , and thus it was i found myself expplainning to gisela how i discovered that rose and nathan were in contact . gisela 's eyes sparkled ." did you read the diary ?"
some loyalty was owed to nathan ." no ."
gisela did not believe me ." have you talked to him about rose ?"
it had been relief to confide in her ." no , but i will ." i reached for my water . so stuffed with ice i ghad difficulty drinking it ." it's complicated . nathan and i have not gotten to the stage where we are each other's best friends . perhaps that is where rose fits in ?"
